Unlocked black Phenoms to come next week

[informal]

There have been rumors about this coming along,but it seems it is near retail introduction .Next week or so and we should meet the 9600 BlackEdition and hopefully the "HTT wall" will be avoided with 3Ghz+ speeds on all cores .

A big surprise for overclockers


AMD didn’t even wanted to give up this information at investors event but it is working on the introduction of a brand new of Black series of Phenom, meant for the retail.

This CPU has been inspired by a great success of the Athlon black edition box 5000+ and 6400+ series and AMD hopes to get the same success with the unlocked Phenom's.

We don't know the clock speeds but we will try to find out.

linky

Good to see black edition coming soon.
When a black edition easily can hit 3ghz i buy one, maybe.

Some new info:
Deneb quadcore and R6xxTM next year.ATI R700 in 1.5 years i guess.

[xVeinx]

Is this going to be B2 as well? Probably, but I just thought I would ask anyway...

[su35bm]

Nice find informal.Too bad I already bought the 9500.

[twilyth]

Must . . . . hang . . . . on

[BeardyMan]

Black edition at 250$ 2.4ghz, would be priceless since macci confirmed his cpu (not BE though) booted fine at a blistering -80C°

[LowRun]

Ohhh and this is from the highly reliable fudzilla too.

Phenom BlackEdition has been confirmed by AMD Japan at official Phenom briefing 1 month ago... Here is the link.


This CPU should be able to hit 3Ghz fairly easily ,now that high HTT is out of the equation.

Will it beat +4GHz Intel Quads cooled with simple phase?

How should i know lol?
Macci is going to test that this weekend

[wittekakker]

I have a strong feeling it's not, but I can't confirm, let's wait for Macci to show up some results

if the theory from non linear scaling is correct it will beat it, and if he will be able to push that NB past 3ghz

What theory is that? Im interrestet!

I'll believe it when i'll see it.

From the link you gave, how tempting

Earlier this month AMD said that it could not release any high-end AMD Phenom FX or even AMD Phenom processors clocked at 2.40GHz and above due to errata that causes system instability under high load. Even though the company said that the errata can be corrected by implementing a fix into BIOS of AMD Phenom-supporting mainboard, AMD itself has no plans to release current revision of Phenom at speeds beyond 2.30GHz. As a consequence, it is unclear whether AMD Phenom 9600 Black Edition provides high overclocking potential without causing system instabilities or not.

They better cut prices drastically or this chip will be a waste of money.

[geo]

cheap procs with unlocked multi's are AMD's best hope to stay alive when penyrns start coming out

[Jethro]

DROOOL! Man i dont really need 4core's but i could justify it by having em fold all night for a good cause DFI/BE Phenom here i come baby!

[KTE]

Hmmm... let's hope it's out this week.

[Aerou]

dont let your AMD hopes get caught on FUD!

[TheCarLessDriven]

Triple Cores seem kind of futile now, lol.

[muzz]

Triple Cores seem kind of futile now, lol.

Why is that?

Changing the multi on a TC is still a good thing, because the Tri-Cores will be cheaper, and there seems to always be one chip that won't OC as much as the rest.
Which can be set individually.

I'm not sure I see the correlation......

[tux08902]

AMD should definitely drop the Black Edition series and release all Phenoms with unlocked multipliers.

AMD K8 chips would always out at certain vcore and don't scale past that

fingers crossed this isn't the case any more

if they can all do DRY ICE temps gawd damn i think there will be many people getting into it for fun again

admit you overclockingwhore, you woudl for sure

Considering the issues at hand I agree! But from a Marketing perspective they will late I would assume after initial hopefully prosperous results for with unlocked Multi action and get the buzz going

Tell ya what this DFI LanParty UT 790FX-M2R is a damn good board and have just barely scratched the surface on it potecial.
